I really like watching movies but I feel I don't understand many subtle things which, I believe, stops me from properly appreciating the movies. If I see a review of a movie after watching it people talk about many things like camerawork, lights, how the actor was standing, etc. which I didn't notice. Basically, until the detail is obvious in a movie I tend to miss it.
Another thing is that when I watch movies which are highly rated by film lovers I normally find them boring especially if it is drama, For ane example, the farewell which was highly appreciated by movie lovers but I found it boring. This is very true for older movies. I'm not saying that they are bad movies but I don't understand things which make them highly rated.
So to conclude I love to watch movies but I don't really understand a lot of subtleties. So how can I learn to appreciate them better?
